Often one man's bad luck is another's good fortune and that was the case in the dramatic finale of this Maybank Championship Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur.
Marcus Fraser fired a closing 68 for the win at Royal Selangor Golf Club, however the veteran Australian was two shots behind Soomin Lee as he stood on the 16th tee, but a double-bogey from the South Korean coupled with a nearly-holed chip opened the door for Fraser to win his third European Tour title.
A clutch ten-foot putt on the 17th kept the 37 year old in a share of the lead at -15 but when Lee double-bogeyed again on the 72nd hole, a par was enough to make Fraser the first ever winner of the Maybank Championship Malaysia Tiger Trophy.
That closing double-bogey dropped Lee (73) into T2 with Miguel Tabuena (68) at -13, a shot clear of Jorge Campillo (69) and Julien Quesne (68)
